 Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2005 9:36 pm Post subject: eth0 and dhcp boot errors |
 |
|
I am getting the following errors when I boot up (and I have no network connection):
| Code: | *Starting eth0
* Cannot default to dhcp as there is no dhcp module loaded
* No configuration for eth0
*Error: Problem starting needed services
"netmount" was not started. |
I'm pretty new to linux so I'm not too good with the command prompt, and without the network I can't even install kde. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Networking & Security.
Installation succesful, networking still needs some attention.
Make sure you enabled the driver for your nic in the kernel.
Look at the output of lspci | grep -i eth to find out which card you have |

Looks like someone forgot to install dhcpcd (or whatever other dhcp client you might have chosen to use) . If that's not that case it might also be that ifconfig didn't get installed in which case I'd use iproutes2.
Try booting from livecd, mounting the partitions (including proc), chrooting and type (as root)
| Code: |
emerge search dhcpcd
|
If it says dhcpcd is not installed, emerge it then try again.
Otherwise
try
If it reports that ifconfig is not a registered command, emerge iproutes2 and follow the networking section of the guide to see that your computer goes to it.
